Ensembles Features Chris Diaz at Young Designer Series Holiday 2012 Collection

I have always been proud of my Pinoy roots. And
this September, I am more proud that one of my favorite clothing brands, Ensembles, released their 4th installment of its Young
Designer Series featuring the collection of Chris Diaz. The
past collections featured James Reyes,
Debbie Co, Louis Claparols and Choc & Yvette Religioso. And today there’s no better
way to show this beautiful line than to be modeled by one of the premier
actresses in the country, Ms. Carmina Villarroel. Two such talented Pinoys in
one collection is definitely a celebration of success.

The Ensembles
by Chris Diaz Holiday 2012 collection attributes to the wearability and
artistry of the clothes. Diaz’s design is primarily made of lace, soft fabrics
and color blocking. Starting from flattering tops in chiffon and poplin to the
dresses and skirts, this 17 piece collection shows femininity and a little
romanticism that definitely suits any Pinay.

As Carmina Villarroel shows us how a strong
Filipina is, raising up to life’s challenges, having a rocking career from talk
shows to primetime soap opera ( I just love her in Lorenzo’s Time), while
juggling being a mother to her beautiful twins. Like Chris Diaz’s collection,
Carmina Villarroel fits to the bill of empowerment and fulfillment.

Chris Diaz
definitely is the best choice for the Young Designer Series since he is
well-known in the Manila fashion industry after becoming a finalist in the
2002 MEGA Young Designers Competition. Labeled as a “Romantic” Designer,
his trademarks for his work are feminine frills, lace and florals. He said, “I’m
very excited with this collaboration! There’s a lot for everyone – a balance of
feminine silhouette and use of romantic element and a smart range of color
blockings that will flatter everyone!”.
And with that, I’m pretty sure more Filipinas would well embrace his style.

Here are the signature pieces that will
make you feel chic and fab:

Color Blocking Workshirt purple white 1395

S-L Lace Dress Black Beige 1795
